Alice Eason, Jodie Wright, Caroline Nicol and Keryn Robson each scored two goals for T-Birds, while Deanne Philip, Liz Schiaro, Emma Philp, Monique Flower, Peta Hobbs and Amanda Neale also recorded goals in a one-sided affair.
Hornets' Cam Pope said the girls "were brave taking the field", with only six players able to run out due to a lack of numbers.
"Goal keeper Renee Wallace played an amazing game in her first game in the box," Pope said.
"Lou Faint was also good up forward while Aneen Potgieter was tremendous in both defence and attack.
"Ciara, who usually plays forward, stepped up to save a few goals in defence...congratulations to those girls who did take the field."
Aces Blue also took the points in their match, downing Pirates White 6-0.
Heather Whiting and Debbie Burke scored twice each, while Kath Cronin and Nicole Bishop also goaled in the convincing victory.
Aces' coach Ralph Farlow was pleased to see the work at training translate to the playing field.
"It was a really enjoyable game," he said.
"Our passes linked up really well and the skills worked on at training really shone through with all players chipping in solid performances.
"Congratulations and a massive thank you to Ellie for her brilliant efforts as she celebrates her last game with Aces."
